Despite of that fact that Vlad is well known troll and uses too much ad hominem argumentation (for my taste), the topic he started is important.

Vlad’s central message is:"Our shared reality that we need fully autonomous software to escape state control is insecure and aggressive And it 100% isn’t true" and should be replaced by Crypto Law (whatever he means by that). Otherwise crypto will become illegal.

I disagree with Vlad, because …

On sovereign Crypto Law

Any off-chain law needs a law enforcement officers.

Law enforcement officers will need a sovereign space where they can operate. Otherwise they will enforce third party’s law (the legacy state law).

Sovereign territory and sovereign law need to be defended. Declaration of sovereign Crypto Law means Declaration of Independence. This (if taken seriously) will provoke the state powers and lead to war (or some kind of).

Neither I see any reason to provoke a war against state’s legal systems (it is just unnecessary - now we can still work perfectly legal), nor I see how Crypto can win it. May be Vlad is “willing to die on this hill” - I am not.

Any radicalization of Crypto will make the space evil because majority becomes smaller but radicalized.

1-5: Declaration of Sovereign Crypto Law will create more damage. Nevertheless it makes sense to talk about rules we a trying to follow.
